Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

@luferfish, I just cut the tube, waited for the liquid to empty and pulled it out.
I meet with my urologist next week and will certainly address my continued incontinence. Leaking more now than before the surgery. But I am still optimistic and the doc said I would be a few months before full healing.
For anyone dealing with leaking or sudden urgency I have found the men’s guards to be effective. CVS has them, their brand, maximum absorbancy. You must wear them inside briefs, not boxers. My wife keeps one in her purse for me and I have a few in my glovebox. ( to remove the catheter I just cut the tube, waited for the liquid to empty and pulled.)

@grahamh
Your catheter removal was correct. Obviously leakage and urgency has some other reasons. I hope your doctor will take care of that. I wish my doctor knew how to remove the catheter! and train his orderlies! I do not have the leakage but stopping up slowly I believe because of ureteral cuts and scar tissue shrinkage. I wish the best luck to you.
